If You Laugh at the Cat, the Terrorists Have Won.
ICanHasCheezburger? is a blog of funny animal macros, mostly of cats, but sometimes gerbils, bunnies, dogs and monkeys, too. By "macro," I mean "a picture with a hilariously anthropomorphic saying on it," usually in child-like 'netspeak to add to the cuteness.

A couple of days ago, cheezburger posted this macro of a Siamese cat, ostensibly after having eaten something very sour, with the caption "ME NO RIKE REMONADE." Cue fan, which the shit hit immediately. 632 comments later...

Accusations range from "racist!" to many, many tl;dr essays, yes, essays in the comments, most of them preceded with the disclaimer/qualifier, "Well, I am [insert ethnicity here], so..." Dreama explains for us plebes that the macro is inexcusably racist which causes other members to suggest that she change her user handle to "Drama" (hee!). Jimmy compares the macro to the Japanese internment camps of WW2, which causes a LOT of people to go all "Bitch, are you for real?" The comments are the straw on the proverbial camel for Ben, who declares, "I am just waiting for the asteroid to come and kill the rest of you." rubbr tries and fails to be the voice of reason: "...it's only a picture of a cat..." Squalo says that if you're complaining about this and not doing something about the terrorists, you should be ashamed of yourself!11!1!!1

All I could think was: "Aww. Siamese kitties have the CUTEST meows."

You say that as I get into another 'NO, YOU SHUT UP' contest with my Siamese.

My first thought involved Avenue Q and the Japanese chick who has that accent. Now I've got the 'Everyone's A Little Bit Racist' song stuck in my head, with cats instead of puppets.

Fantastic.

Huh, with the eyes closed and fur like that, the kitty doesn't particularly look like a Siamese, so that macro would've boggled me for a couple of seconds.

Am I a horrible, evil person for suddenly wanting to make a macro of a black cat stealing some fried chicken off a plate?

I'd have to compliment it with my friend's cat stealing a chunk of doughnut in a cop hat, but it might almost be worth it.

I think the best part is how cheezburger edited the post, cut-tag the picture, and explained that it was "bad language kids shouldn't see" (paraphrased)... Then didn't change the name of the post. Which is still visible to all. *sigh*

I love when people freak out over silly stuff like that, because then it gives jackasses a perfect opportunity to reply to the essays with their own essays about how white guys are so oppressed since everybody isn't crusading to protect them. Then they go on to the part where they explain to us that only genocide and slavery are anything to get upset about, and any milder racism is unchangable human nature and automatically funny anyway.
After all, the people overreacting in the first place prove that anyone who gives a shit about anything is an insane PC-obsessed liberal with no sense of humor.
That's always so much fun. And by fun I mean "oh god everybody SHUT THE HELL UP and look at the damn kittens".

What is HI-LARIOUS is that cheezburger isn't even responsible for that macro; it, like most of the macros on the site (and the name of the site), has been cribbed off 4chan.

... I, for one, am happy about that, as it means one doesn't have to go to 4chan to get cat macros.
